AGENT — Give an AI a result it can pursue and finish

  • Situation: An agent can carry out substantial work across tools or sessions, and the result needs more than a plausible answer.
  • Question: What must the agent obtain, what may it do, and how will completion or an impasse be recognized?
  • First useful result or blocker: A usable assignment with available inputs, action limits, completion evidence and a continuation arrangement suited to the actual runtime.
  • Start with: GOALS.7.
  • Stop or return: Use an ordinary bounded instruction when it suffices. Obtain a missing decision or access condition from its holder before the dependent action.
